<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt">IoT, which stands for the “Internet of Things,” focuses on machine-to-machine communication that’s built on cloud computing and data-gathering sensors. It’s the idea of making anything in our
lives (from streetlights to thermostats to cement) “smart.” </span></p>

software side or both. You’ll connect any “data-producing-device” (e.g. sensors, data loggers, etc.) to your developer board, prototype your never-seen device and/or code a potential app to capitalize on your collected data.
